Mr.. BurtOn,s Ffnancicring. z g..

The stories about Hetzel call to mind
C. o. Burton's unfortunate experience
while postmaster here. While one Of
his clerks was fixing up real nice otii
cial report, tossing 50, 500 from one fund
to another, s. G.. T. Dunbar dropped in
and slapped him familiarly on the back.
The clerks ink-bottle kicked at this
piece of impudence and spread its con.
tents over the report. A new one had
to be made out. But before it could be
got into shape to "a tisfy the peering in
spectors of the Postotfice Department
one of them happened along. He
"caught on" the So, 500 fund, and began
to ask uncomfortable questions about it
"Oh," explained Mr.. Burton, 81 have
1t on deposit in bank"
"Oh, see; you keep bank account
rh?" said the inspector; 'of course yol
hove no objection to my looking at it?'
"Well," said Mr.. Burton, 81 don't ex
actly keep an account, you know.
simply keep the money in box there.
The inspector thought he would lik'
to take look at it. But it was ther
past banking hours. So the inspector
said he would wait until morning.
At 10 o'clock the next forenoon Mr.
Burton borrowed So, 500 of Banker Hew
lett, without security, and took it off tt
show the inspector.
"Here it is, said the postmaster.
"Ah, 80 see, and the inspector tool
it; 81 think I'll carry this money OF
with me for safe keeping"
Mr.. Burton was obliged to carry th
box back empty.

Art fn Am erica,

The beauest of Miss Wolfe of her
splendid collection of paintings to the
Metropolitan Art Museum of New York
has naturally enthused and excited the
art circles Of that city and persuaded
Manhattan that it is destined to become
more than the commercial and financial
centre of the United States to be its
art centre as we'll.
New York has been more than lucky
in these bequests. 1t was only the
ether day that Mr.. Vanderbilt presented
the Museum with Rosa Bonheur's ia
nous "Horss Fair" The Astors, the
the Coopers, Messrs. Lenox, Seney and
Tilden presented large donations o.
handsome paintings. Now comes the
Wolfe bequest of collection valued al
$500, 900, and including some of the best
works of Meissonier, Jerome, Rosa
Bonheur, Munkaesy, and other artists
living and dead. The New York
Museum now contains the mos
thoroughly representative exhibition Of
contemporary French art in existence
save that of the Luxembourg.
The Times boasts that sit is no
fanciful to hope that at some day. no
very distant, New York may come tt
rival Paris itself in all that makes {
city a capital of civilization. No more
triumphant vindication of republican
institutions could be desired than sucl
a showing that the very advantages
which elsewhere are obtained by th'
intervention of the State can be secured
by the spontaneous generosity ant
patriotism of individuals, in addition t.
the manifold advantages that no othe
form of government can confer"
The whole country will rejoice witt
New York in this Nothing will TEN
more toward creating school of ar
in this country, and of cultivating
popular taste for it, than the establish
ment of q museum in an importan
center like New York. The Unite
States has been very backward in art
but, thanks to the encouragement hei
out by our millionaires, is pushing fol
ward, and there is every'reason now t
hope for a brilliant future for art j
America.

BECK FOR CLEVELAND.
He warmly Applauds the Presi'
neut,s Honesty and Integrity.

Senator Beck, who is warm SUP.
porter of the President, says the Presi-
Sent has a strong hold upon the mass of
the people of this country, because of
their Arm belief in his integrity of pur-
nose and his determination to fulfill his
pIedoes. He says he knows from con.
yersations with the President that the
latter is amazed when the ultra
men of his party complain that
he is not turning Republicans out
TO nut Democrats in their places,
whether the Republicans deserve re.
moyal or not, for the President thinks
the only chance for his party t. sucee d
In the future is for him, by keeping his
pledges, to retain in the party the men
who deserted the Republican fold be.
cause of disgust with Republican meth
DDS in administering the government,
and aided in bringing in a Democratic
administration because of the promises
made of reform in those methods. The
President thinks that his party could
not have wen without those men. and
will not win again if they are driven of
by q failure ON his part to keep his
pledges.
Senator Beck speaks warmly OF the
fact that after two years of Democratic
rule, in spite of hostile Senate, that
the integrity of the President, and o.
every member of his Cabinet, has stood
the test; and that no complaint of lack
of honesty of any member of the ad-
ministration, or of neglect of public
business by any one of them has beer

that should any such complaint be es
tablished against him the President
would not retain him in office an houl
after he was convinced of his failure tt
keep pure record.
Senator Beck also says that of al
things. the President wants the countr.
to believe that he is man of stric
truthfulness, SO that he must keep ever
promise he made in his campaign for hi
present office.

capricious appetite, heartburn, puzzling
nervous symptoms, increased action of the

needful for its removal. A resort to Hos

Failed to MaterialiZe,

Last Saturday, the day set for the
hearing of the application of DR.. Farmer
for permit to sell intoxicating liquors,
the doctor asked leave to withdraw his
application without prejudice to future
action in his case. This step arose from
the fact that any person, in order to
receive a permit, must have certificate
from the state board Of pharmacy. This
the doctor had made application for, but
somebody had fled protest against the
issuing of the certificate; whereupon the
board sent to the doctor for an affidavit,
which he claims to have forwarded.
However, the certificate was still with
held, on account of the board having
adjourned before the receipt of the
affidavit by the secretary.
